SAMPOL to attend FITUR 2019

FITUR 2019
January 6, 2019

For the second consecutive year, SAMPOL, through its business unit SAMPOL Digital, will participate in the 39th edition of the International Tourism Fair (FITUR), held at Madrid’s IFEMA from 23 to 25 January. SAMPOL will be located at stand 10B27 in Pavilion 10.

SAMPOL, which operates across various sectors, including tourism (hospitality), has completed over 2,500 projects in more than 300 hotels across 17 countries and four continents.

In its ongoing commitment to innovation, SAMPOL Digital has introduced its technology and associated services to the hotel sector through RETiA FTTR (Fiber To The Room). RETiA FTTR is the latest in fibre-optic-based telecommunications technology, delivering IP services (Internet, TV, telephony, IoT) directly to hotel rooms: all services unified through a simple fibre optic thread. This marks a shift from traditional analogue networks to fully digital, fibre-optic networks.

SAMPOL Digital has already connected over 25,000 hotel rooms across Spain and the Caribbean with GPON fibre-optic technology. The company plans to continue expanding this state-of-the-art global standard in the coming months, as it establishes itself as one of SAMPOL’s flagship projects for 2018. As the global gold standard in advanced technology for data, voice and video services, RETiA FTTR is a crucial tool for hotels, helping them enhance communication, increase productivity, reduce long-term costs and stay at the forefront of technological advancements.

For SAMPOL, it is an honour to attend FITUR for the second consecutive year, a global meeting point for tourism professionals and a benchmark for inbound and outbound markets in the sector. The company aims to demonstrate the advantages of transitioning from analogue to digital technology, replacing copper networks with fibre-optic infrastructure – a shift that is already being recognised as a telecommunications revolution. SAMPOL Digital was one of the first to introduce this technology, and thanks to its vision and persistence, many hoteliers have already adopted this technology, while others are considering it after seeing its advantages. SAMPOL confirms that RETiA FTTR has become the preferred choice for hoteliers when deploying telecommunications in both renovations and new hotel developments.
